How badly do you want to see God’s manifest presence? Is this even possible anymore? Could our deep hunger and desire for God and a plea to God to show His glory cause Him to manifest to us? God made a promise to Moses clearly stating He would show Himself to Moses. Can He do the same for us? It is not impossible, but look at the devotion and obedience Moses had towards God. Are you ready to give that much devotion and obedience to God?
Exodus 33:18-23
18 Then Moses said, “Now show me your glory.”
19 And the Lord said, “I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim my name, the Lord, in your presence. I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.
20 But,” he said, “you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live.”
21 Then the Lord said, “There is a place near me where you may stand on a rock.
22 When my glory passes by, I will put you in a cleft in the rock and cover you with my hand until I have passed by.
23 Then I will remove my hand and you will see my back; but my face must not be seen.”
